He was honourable in the sight of God. 69 Believers, have fear of God and speak righteous words. 70 That He may straighten your affairs for you and forgive your sins; and he who obeys God and His Prophet will be successful. 71 We offered the trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, but they refused to carry it and were afraid of it; and man carried it.
